Between Landlord and Tenant who should repair a faulty Pumping Machine?

Depends on how much you paid for rent

PlasmaTV:
If the landlord is living with them, the landlord should take responsibility for he repairs. I believe that's the normal thing.

However, if the landlord isn't living with them, they should gather money to repair.

similar issues we are having in our compound, its the duty of the landlord to address his tenants and share the money required equally.

jmoore:
The landlord will also use his money to buy fuel to power his generator to pump water for tenants.

You're stretching this issue to justify your position.
When I was a tenant, I contributed to the repair of our faulty pumping machine but the other tenant refused to.

The tenant of course because you are the one using it so you hv to take responsibility but if the pumping machine need a replacement I mean new one then it is the responsibility of the landlord

Tenants should live responsibly just as if you own the house. Lucky you if your Landlord live in the same house. Then you should contribute to the repair of the water pump and the pumping bills without being asked. However, if you live alone in a compound as a tenant and everything was working perfectly before you packed in, then you are responsible for the repair and the pumping electricity bills of water. It's an additional blessing to you if your Landlord is magnanimous enough to take the responsibility but mind you, it's you guys (tenants) responsibility.

It depends on the type of house if you are actually paying fair rent or you are on Sara pay.

Every item in the house that has depreciation from normal wear and tear life expectancy.

Like window, doors kitchen cabinets, Air Conditioners electrical, including pumping machine & the over head tank are for the landlord since he charges for rent. Per year or monthly. And can ask you to pack out at the end of the day, may be after fixing the pump, what then happens?

Things like inside wall paintings leaking taps electric bulbs broken tiles and all wear and tear from his daily contact and use should be replaced or repaired by the tenant

Fiscus105:
I guess the same rule applicable if roof leaks,
If toilet full? And if the painting of the house fades?

Yes those are the landlord's responsibility. However if the landlord gives you go ahead to effect repairs because its kind of an emergency then a tenant can go ahead but the tenant needs that go ahead, very important.

Is the tenant not using the pumping machine daily, it cannot be the landlord's responsibility because of that.

It's a no brainer, the landlord obviously

Tenant should repair when it's faulty but when it's damaged beyond repair. Landlord should replace it.

i see lots of unintelligent responses above....how will landlord fix the pump? everybody benefitting from the use of pump should fix it, including the landlord if he stays in that compound, otherwise only tenants should fix it

Prince1759:

Agreed.

Structural works is the responsibility of the landlord
Facility maintenance is by the users

Every item in the house that has depreciation from normal wear and tear life expectancy.

Like window, doors kitchen cabinets, crack walls compound floorings electricals, for fully furnished apartments including Air Conditioners pumping machine & the over head tank are for the landlord since he charges for rent. Per year or monthly. What will you do if after fixing the pump, and the landlord ask you to vacate his house at the end of your rent, let's say few months to the time what then happens?

Things like inside wall paintings leaking or bad taps electric bulbs broken tiles and all wear and tear from the tenant's daily contact and usage should be replaced or repaired by the tenant. Including water treatments and bad door locks

So wat exactly is ur point with dz insemination

haphizz57:
The landlord.
Dat is why it is not gud to live in same house with ur tenant

Udunminit

Wow

PlasmaTV:
It's the property of the landlord, so the landlord should repair it.

Really

This ur story no clear
U repair urz for who?

Oghene86:
Landlords, I repair mine

Tenants duty.

No repair leaky roof

De wait for landlord

Besides did the tenant pay maintenance fee while also paying for tenancy

Una no de even talk am as e b

Nbotee:
It is the property of the Landlord and as such is his responsibility except it was stated in your tenancy agreement. The only thing you are responsible for is the money for fuel or electricity to pump the water.
Your rent is for you to use those things in his house. It's akin to a leaking roof or a cracked wall or a fence that fell, will you the tenant be the one to fix your leaky roof since you are the one leaving there

Originality007:
when u pack into the house is the pumping not working? so u expect the landlord to come and repair it for u, wen its spoil?


unless u pay damages b4 u packed into the house , if not, it is ur duty as a tenant to repair te pumping marchin

Similar thing happens abroad, but does it happen in Nigeria?

LordReed:

Are you not leaving in the house daily, just build him a new one 😔😔 I know you are one of those landlords that over task your tenants?

Heavy maintenance is on land Lord
But low charged maintenance is on the tenant Period.

Don't expect tenant that pays you every year to bear unnecessary cost. When you can always increase his rent over time. The least you can do is show him goodness.

And a tenant that values your property will do well to use it right. If not send them parking one time.

Did u pay for only rent or u paid for maintenance as well

As u pay for ATM card

While dem still de charge u quarterly or monthly for ATM maintenance

Why u neva barge enta bank ask dem why dem de charge u for dat even though u pay for the card

U de liken VEHICLE TO HOUSE

Shey na d same criterion

Na d owner of the car de drive car
Here na u de use house

ezenna191:
I keep wondering why this should be a debate. It's like asking, between a transport owner and passengers, who should fix the vehicle if it breaks down? It's sad that some landlords have this stupid mentality that your commitment ends in building a house, the rest is to collect rent, while tenants do the maintenance and everything else. Unfortunately too, in their greed they keep increasing rent.

Puss360:
Lol, property of landlord, but is being used by tenants... So if the tenants misuse it , it should still be landlord that will replace it because "It's the property of the landlord"...

We always don't like taking responsibility for our actions

So tenants should repair it because they use it? Do they not pay him rent? Shebi he no know say part of the rent wey dem pay am na for maintenance? So if the tenants park out he will follow them and compel them to bring money for the repair?

SALLYBERRY01:

To be honest, I believe tenant should fix it unless they can ask landlord to contribute some money to it.

PlasmaTV:

I think you're wrong.

Tenant.shwy na landlord dey use am. Shey when u move in,the pump no work.na why I hate tenants esp ronu with ipob

Oghene86:
Landlords, I repair mine

How do you mitigate against abuse of the machine?

symbianDON:
wrong! A faulty submersible water pump is a major fix and should be routinely maintained and repaired by the landlord. However, minor INDOOR repairs and maintenance must be carried out by the tenant. A leaky roof, for instance, isn't expected to be fixed by the tenant because it's a major repair just like a faulty submersible pump.

What if it's not a submersible pump but those surface pumps?
Does the type of pump matter in who does the repair? 🤷

If you pay service charge, then Landlord. If not, all the tenants should gather money and repair since you have been the one using it. If you wait for landlord, you might wait for a very long time

Both, if the house owner resides with them. All occupants of the house use water after all.

Do they even knw what that means

Instead na to de beg to drop the price down

Nd still expect the landlord to kill himself

Naso one call me say her toilet Don block 2 years living in the house and u de call me for blocked toilet say maka come repair am

The way I use vex tel her make she park at expiration ehn

Sotland:
That's if they pay for service charge. You are correct but most people here don't pay for it...
